Configuring JAX-WS over SSL through CXF

Question

hey, I am having somewhat related issue only. Recently the external SOAP interface which were generating client for changed to https one. and I had an old code base at hand which was generating the java files through cxf and unsecured, http:// based wsdl. I chnaged the uri and on maven side everything works fine even the test pass. but when i use this jar in the main project of mine I get this:

Can you please help?

Answer 1

Since you're getting a NoSuchMethodError (which is caught/thrown by the compiler), My suggestion is that you are using a version of Java class (in this case, javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection) which doesn't have the following method signature:

javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.getSSLSocketFactory()

This class can be found in the JRE/lib jsse.jar (as from time of writing, JDK 1.6.0_21). Make sure that your java libraries and your Apache CXF libaries are declared in the java CLASSPATH.

That's what I can help you based on your caused exception.
